西澳州建筑公司Summit Homes Group正面临一场签证危机。该公司共有162名菲律宾技术工人的签证申请遭遇严重延误，其中72人已等候超过8个月，远超正常6个月的审批周期。1公司在这些签证申请上已花费约600万澳元。1
这一延误对公司的建筑计划造成直接冲击。公司表示，签证延误已影响了2000套住房的建筑计划，该公司原计划今年启动2000套房屋建设，明年再增加2000套。1公司总经理已就此事向财政部长吉姆·查尔默斯反映。1据公司估计，每增加一名工人可帮助其每年建造2套房屋。1
对于延误原因，联邦政府方面的回应是，签证按照申请顺序进行审批，并且需要确保申请信息完整。1助理移民部长Matt Thistlethwaite指出，申请人必须提供英语证书、技能认证、健康检查等完整文件。1联邦政府曾在7月24日下达指令，优先处理已在澳大利亚境内的申请者的签证。1
Summit Homes Group, a major Western Australian construction company, has reported that 162 Philippine skilled workers are facing significant visa application delays, with 72 of them waiting more than eight months against the standard six-month processing timeframe 1. The company has spent approximately 6 million Australian dollars on these visa applications 1.
The delays are directly impacting the company's development plans. Summit Homes Group had planned to commence construction on 2,000 residential units this year, followed by an additional 2,000 next year, with each additional worker capable of enabling the company to build two more homes annually 1. The company's general manager has raised the matter with federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers 1.
Federal Assistant Immigration Minister Matt Thistlethwaite said visa applications are processed in order of receipt and require complete information including English language certificates, skills credentials, and health checks 1. In response to housing pressures, the federal government issued a directive on July 24 prioritizing visa processing for applicants already in Australia 1.
